Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 480 Underground World
"Are all demons so violent in their dealings?"

Wei Zhong looked at the rolling void in front of him with a strange look on his face.

Qi Han beside him seemed to have seen a lot of this:

"In the demon race, it is a true law of the jungle, starting from the low-level demon beasts. The entire tribe believes that the strong are respected.

“We humans can still gain respect by practicing a hundred arts, but this obviously does not apply to these demon dragons.

"A low-level demon dragon holding a treasure can only make it a dragon vassal.

“For the demon race, strength is the foundation.

"Under such circumstances, no matter what level they have reached, their true strength will be revealed."

Qi Han looked at the two dragons fighting in the distance, his spiritual awareness radiating endlessly, as if he was spying on something.

However, Wei Zhong knew that there was a thick barrier between the two dragons and the two men, which blocked the consciousness of Wei Zhong and the other man.

Wei Zhong’s spiritual sense couldn’t get through, and so could Qi Han’s.

But what was strange was that Wei Zhong discovered that there was a mysterious gray mist in Qi Han's consciousness, covering an area of ​​the void.

And observing the change in Qi Han's expression, it seemed that he had discovered something using this method.

"So many tricks!"

Wei Zhong secretly complained and could only stare blankly.

It’s not that Wei Zhong has no way to break through this spiritual barrier, but he can only penetrate it with great force.

But what's the difference between this and saying "I'm here to spy on you" in front of the dragon's ear? There's no secrecy at all.

Wei Zhong touched his brow subconsciously and sighed suddenly:
'The power of the Tao Seed is not omnipotent.'

The lightning seed greatly increased Wei Zhong's attack and destructive power, but it was difficult to make any progress in exploration.

So Wei Zhong could only look at the changes in Qi Han's expression to guess the internal struggle between the two dragons.

"Zhouting Void Silver Dragon is going to win. As expected of a demon dragon that has survived eight immortal thunder tribulations, its strength is indeed much stronger than that of Void Erosion Nether Skeleton Dragon.

"And looking at the power of the silver dragon's thunder, it seems to carry some kind of divine power. Is it about to condense the lightning seed?"

Qi Han did not avoid Wei Zhong and talked openly about Erlong's strength.

Sure enough, not long after Qi Han said this, the spiritual barrier was unlocked, revealing the figures of two demon dragons inside.

Among them, Zhou Ting Xu Yin Long was covered in thunder, and its specific condition could not be seen.

However, the body of the Void Skeleton Dragon was exposed, with large and small charred brown wounds on its surface, as if it had been injured by thunder.

Realizing that Wei Zhong and others were spying on him, he groaned, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of corpse gas. The breath swirled, floated, and rose, wrapping his entire body.

But after a few breaths, the corpse gas dissipated, and the Eroded Skeleton Dragon returned to its tattered appearance.

"What a mysterious recovery method!"

Wei Zhong clearly sensed endless corrosion and death from the corpse gas. It should have been a destructive force, but when it fell on the Void Corrosion Ghost Dragon, which was the essence of a corpse, it was an excellent medicine.

"Have you two come to a conclusion in your fight?"

Qi Han responded, and thunder spewed out of the silver dragon's mouth:
"It has been resolved. We will go together."

The words were finalized, and from then on the three-way movement became a four-way movement.

The two men and two dragons shuttled through the void, getting closer and closer to their predetermined destination.

When they arrived at the approximate location, the Void Skeleton Dragon scratched the void with its fingertips, and the reality on the opposite side immediately appeared before its eyes.

The world was pitch black. It was not night, but the whole world was dark.

The two men and two dragons passed through and arrived at reality, only to find that the surrounding world was like hell.

Endless darkness enveloped the place, and ghost lights floated in the sky like blooming flowers.

Wei Zhong looked up, but saw dark clouds obscuring the view and he couldn't see the sun above his head clearly.

"The Hell Cinder Sky Dragon, it really is the right nickname."

Wei Zhong muttered secretly, and the two demon dragons looked around, with shock gradually growing in their eyes.

"How did this place become such a horrible state?" Zhou Tingxu Silver Dragon was shocked.

The Void Skeleton Dragon was no less shocked and suspicious.

Obviously, the scene before them was beyond the expectations of both of them.

Wei Zhong and Qi Han looked at each other and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"Why, did you two make any great discoveries?"

Silver Dragon explained:

“This mountain range was not like this before. Although the sky was often dark and the ground was mottled with deep pits, it was also a rare spiritual place full of vitality.

"How can it be like this ghostly appearance now?"

Void Ghost Dragon interjects:
"Yes, yes. If I were to say what it looks like now, I think it looks more like the domain of Youyu."

"field?"

Wei Zhong looked up suddenly. The scene of this world was indeed very similar to the domain.

But, whose field is so big?
Even Wei Zhong's great eyesight could not see its boundaries.

Such a vast area requires a huge amount of spiritual energy to support it.

With Wei Zhong's current level of cultivation, he can't hold on for long.

But more than ten breaths had passed since everyone arrived here and started communicating.

Moreover, even if the territory is opened, what is the point of not taking action?

"It's not a domain," Qi Han said, shaking his head slowly, attracting the attention of Erlong and Wei Zhong. "It seems to me that this is more like the death of a high-level cultivator, which caused the leakage of laws and mana, resulting in a sudden change in the spiritual environment."

"Could it be that the kid from Youyu is dead?" It seemed that the Void Youshi Dragon had some grudge against the Youyu Dragon, and there was a hint of gloating on his face.

"Not necessarily, but we should be able to find out if we look for the indigenous demon dragons."

The four of them flew all the way to the former lair of the Nether Dragon.

However, at this time, the location of the nest had turned into a bottomless pit.

"It's expanded more than a hundred times since the last time I came here," Silver Dragon said in horror.

The few of them kept walking, and finally found a dragon tribe in the cracks between many pits.

The silver dragon stepped forward to inquire, and the demon dragon gave a vague reply.

After a while, the silver dragon turned around and narrated everything that had happened.

Wei Zhong and others only knew that the environment had suddenly changed about three thousand years ago.

Endless ghostly fires and black smoke emerged from the eighth-rank demon's lair not far away, changing the surrounding spiritual environment and covering the sky, turning the place completely dark.

Subsequently, many pits appeared on the ground, with black smoke coming out of them, corroding the mountains and forests and devouring their own kind.

As a result, only a small number of demon dragon tribes can survive here now.

Moreover, because of the black smoke that affected their senses, these evil dragons could no longer find a way to leave.

"It's really weird. If my guess is correct, the Hell Dragon must have gone deep into the pit."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the large and small pits below, and then locked onto the place where the Nether Cinder Dragon's nest had been previously located.

This is the largest cave in this area.

Black gas came out of the cave entrance, quickly dissolved into the sky and earth, and then gradually thinned until it disappeared.

The pit was so dark that it was hard to see the bottom.

And when everyone probed their spiritual consciousness into it, they felt a sense of stagnation.

Mahayana's sharp and flexible spiritual sense exploration here is like covering an ordinary person's face with a rag full of dirt.

Not only is it uncomfortable, but I can't see the way forward at all.

The two dragons looked at each other, and the silver dragon spoke first:

"You two, we have agreed to advance and retreat together. Now that we have reached the mountain, please come this way!"

"Please!" As the top level of humans and demons in this world, they are naturally not afraid of the strange pits in front of them.

Each of them used their own methods and transformed into four streams of light that merged into the cave.

The cave was very dark, and the constantly rising black aura made Wei Zhong feel a little depressed.

"The spiritual energy is so thin."

The black fog seemed to squeeze the space for spiritual energy, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the pit to be greatly reduced, which was much worse than that in the outside world.

After diving for an unknown amount of time, a black-purple light appeared in everyone's sight.

The two men and two dragons passed by, and a whole new world appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This place is like a strange underground world, and the light emitted by the purple fluorescent stone on the rock wall covers the entire space.

"This……"

Not only Wei Zhong and Qi Han, but even the other two demon dragons were shocked.

The existence of this underground world far exceeded their expectations.

It's not just the fluorite that's everywhere here, what's even more peculiar is that this place has an ecology that is extremely similar to that of the upper world.

There is soil and vegetation on the surface of the rock, and spiritual energy shuttles and wanders through it, but is then blocked by the black fog in the upper pits.

"Is this a cave or a real underground cave?" muttered the Void Skeleton Dragon.

Wei Zhong looked around:

"If it is really an underground cave, it is a bit too big."

The suppression of spiritual consciousness here is much less than that in the pit, but with Wei Zhong's ability, he still cannot detect the edge of this area.

Suddenly, Qi Han's expression changed.

"The space here is blocked. No wonder Brother Yinlong can't find this location through the void."

Wei Zhong and the other two demon dragons tried it and found that it was true.

Zhou Ting Xu Yin Long had an ugly look on his face. Most of his most proficient power of the void had been wasted here, and his strength had dropped by at least 20%.

"There's a lot of space here, so why don't we explore separately?"

"Can!"

Qi Han threw a javelin, which pierced through space, and then the tip of the spear was deeply embedded between reality and void.

Such a method made the expressions of the two demon dragons change, and even Wei Zhong was very surprised.

"An eighth-level magic weapon. As expected of the Lord of Jiuzhou who has gathered all the resources in the world, he has so many treasures on him."

Qi Han sent out three javelin sub-bodies and gestured:

“If you make a discovery or encounter danger, you can activate the sub-gun and the others will be able to sense it.

"Also, this mother gun is left here to prevent us from getting lost."

Erlong nodded, bowed slightly, and then left.

Wei Zhong was about to say goodbye, but unexpectedly Qi Han said:

"Brother Wei, why don't we act together? It will also be a good idea for us to take care of each other."

This place was strange, so Wei Zhong did not refuse the latter's invitation for the sake of safety.

The two searched in the opposite direction of the demon dragon.

The two demon dragons on the other side, armed with guns, did not separate from each other, but moved forward together, searching everywhere.

"You Hai, did You Yu have any contact with you before he disappeared?"

Silver Dragon asked, and the latter shook his head:
“That was more than 4,000 years ago. At that time, the Nether Prison was still quite normal, and the territory had not developed to this extent.

"At most, that guy went a little crazy and kept picking fights with me. I was very annoyed, but I couldn't beat him, so I had to find a place in the void to rest."

Silver Dragon was surprised:

"Can't beat him? If I remember correctly, Youyu's Tribulation Transcendence seems to be behind you. In terms of accumulation, you are also better. How can you not beat him?"

"Who knows? It was true ten thousand years ago, but in the past ten thousand years, my strength is indeed not as good as his.

"Whether it's the Netherworld or the flames that are close to the law, they are all suppressing me."

"There is such a change, could it be..."

……

"Brother Qi, look!"

Wei Zhong dug out a strange pillar from the soil.

There are dragon carvings on its head and tail, but the lines in the middle are worn and cannot be seen clearly.

"This looks like a pillar of a certain hall?"

Wei Zhong shook his head slowly, pointed at the blurred lines in the center of the pillar and said:
"No, this is the totem pole of the demon dragon clan."

Qi Han was stunned, and then his face was full of shock:

"Totem pole, this thing..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhong found another one not far away.

The two worked together to dig an area of ​​ten miles in radius and found thirteen totem poles.

The pillars vary in size, style and material.

At a glance, you can tell that they come from different demon dragon tribes.

But the question is, where did these totem poles come from?

"The demon dragon above said that many demon dragon tribes disappeared. Perhaps these totem poles came from there?"

Wei Zhong was not sure, and replied while stroking his chin:
"Although the environment here is a bit poor, it is still enough for ordinary demon dragons to survive. But we have been searching for so long and have not seen a living demon dragon.

"And seeing these totem poles, where are the demon dragons that worship these totem poles?"

There was a gleam in the eyes of the two men as they searched within a few miles.

Afterwards, the two of them used magic weapons and spiritual methods to dig deep, almost turning over the soil layer.

Unfortunately, the dragon's corpse was not found, but several totem poles were found instead.

"That's strange. Could it be that all the remains have been decomposed?"

Wei Zhong picked up a handful of soil and rubbed it in his hands. Unfortunately, after checking it, he could only determine that it was just soil with a slightly peculiar composition, and there was nothing strange about it.

I stood up and looked up. I saw undulating mountains in this underground space, just like the mountains in the outside world.

Wei Zhong couldn't help but take out the Fuling Qiankun Formation, and then flew up, circling around, occasionally planting formation flags.

The magic power in his hand turned into counting chips, and in a short while he was able to identify the direction of the earth veins.

"Friend Wei knows so much!"

Qi Han praised, but Wei Zhong just shook his head and smiled:

"My tricks are just trifles. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Qi."

Then pointing forward:

"In this area, the earth veins come from this direction. We may find something if we explore along the way."

Qi Han nodded in agreement. It was always better to have a specific direction than to explore like a headless fly.

The two men moved forward immediately, and Wei Zhong kept judging the direction based on the battle flags along the way.

After walking for more than ten miles, we encountered difficulties again because two forks appeared in front of us.

After a lot of effort, Wei Zhong finally identified which was the main trunk, and then continued to move forward along the main trunk of the earth vein.

After traveling for hundreds of miles, the world in their eyes finally changed.

Here, a black wall blocked the way for the two of them. Its boundaries were wide and arc-shaped as a whole, isolating an independent space in this underground place.
